Hi Rob, I've been promised the bumper will be ready for you by Wednesday!

Sorry for the delay the guy who's spraying mine has been off Ill.

This is going to be one of the best s2k's in the world

What did you do to clean the engine? Were any of the covers sprayed?

I used caliper paint after cleaning and degreasing with wire wool and scotchbrite pads.

Here's a few more shots I took this evening. Im beginning to see some light at the end of the tunnel.







Hoping to see the turbo manifold arrive this week
